New York town to start issuing same-sex marriage licenses

Yet another town who is now performing marriages for gay couples. It's good to see. I will expect more of these to start happening.

Jason West, the 26-year-old mayor of New Palz, N.Y., says he will perform same-sex marriages in this college town starting Friday, Newsday reports.

"We as a society have no right to discriminate in marriage any more than we have the right to discriminate when someone votes or when someone wants to hold office," West said in a phone interview with the newspaper. "The people who would forbid gays from marrying in this country are those who would have made Rosa Parks sit in the back of the bus." (story)
